I think the portage here just died of a python bite. Skipping to the
bottom line,
Python is complaining there's no package named "path". However, I can
"import os.path" which is what I usually do. So I'm not sure what's actually
broken, or how to fix it.
Help please? I've put some brief details below.

I did my usual
emerge -aDvu world
and there was nothing to do, so I said "no", and expected a prompt. Nope.
I hit control-C and got the following:
> Nothing to merge; do you want me to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No] no
>
> Quitting.
>
>
>
> treat root # !!! global name 'portageexit' is not defined in //etc/make.conf
> !!! Incorrect multiline literals can cause this. Do not use them.
>
> treat root #
I didn't (and still don't) know what that really means. I didn't
worry about it too much.
But later, I went to do the same command, and it died almost
immediately, telling
me that Python had bit the dust (or just bit portage). I haven't
explored much else
yet.
